How our party hog roast works in Ripple
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, with the right permissions. Whether it’s engagement celebrations and summer parties in the garden, we can cook coleslaw, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
In a small place like Ripple, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.

Questions from Ripple
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Ripple?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Can you cater in Ripple?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Ripple and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.

Parties in Ripple: homes, halls and local tips
Ripple is about 2 miles south-west of Deal, in Kent. We are happy to travel to Ripple for parties. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
If guests are coming by rail, Walmer station is about 1.1 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Walmer Castle (1.9 miles east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. The coast is within about 3 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
We cover parties in every part of CT14. Local streets include Mongeham Road, Sunnyside Close and Sutton Lane; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Nearby, we also cater parties in Great Mongeham (1 mile north), Mill Hill (1 mile north-east), Northbourne (2 miles north-west), Sholden Meadows (2 miles north) and Sholden (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (13 miles north-west), Margate (12 miles north), Dover (5 miles south-west), Folkestone (12 miles south-west), Ramsgate (10 miles north) and Broadstairs (12 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Royal Victoria Hospital (5.5 miles south-west) and Kent Museum of the Moving Image (2.4 miles north-east).
- Schools near Ripple include Goodwin Academy (1.8 miles north-east)
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Autumn parties in Ripple get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
